Last March 16, 2016, around 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, I was scrolling through my social media accounts while waiting for our exam in Differential Calculus. When I opened my instagram, I was shocked of how many comment notifications I got. It was more than usual! So being the curious and impatient puppy that I am, I opened it immediately. And this was what the blabbering was about:
geekgirlreads is my bookstagram username 🙂
The moment I saw this post, I literally screamed and squealed and jumped for joy! … in our university cafeteria… with all the students and faculty looking at me. But who freaking cares?! I JUST WON A GIVEAWAY ❤️
I immediately contacted them and settled with two books – Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, and Everything I Never Told You. But since I am a girl and I just LOVE every book I see in book depository, I changed it to a more mainstream book, and one book for my sister (check her bookstagram @bookishmuggle to see what she recieved!)
It was May 5 (or so) when I sent my order at bookdepository.com. Few days after, it was finally dispatched from UK! Now all that’s left to do is wait…
And wait…
And wait…
And freaking wait
(this is the only bad thing when it comes to book mail. it takes FOREVER before you have it 😭 luckily, forever doesn’t exist. HAH! in your face, lovebirds)
After waiting for a long time, it finally arrived! I received a message earlier from my sister saying that the book mails are finally in her hands! 😍
I screamed my heart out (again, in our cafeteria) and went home as fast as the jeepneys and tricycle could handle. And thanks to adrenaline, my legs didn’t feel weak despite of how fast I was walking.
AND HERE IT IS!
I unwrapped it as fast as my hands could handle and…and… I was completely speechless.
It’s so beautiful! 😍 There are some defects but whatever! The book looks so gorgeous and it’s mine and I can finally meet Lou Clark and Will Traynor ❤️
I haven’t posted anything on my bookstagram but I have posted one photo on my personal account (@nichikolaa)
Also my gallery is currently filled with photos of this book so expect geekgirlreads to have posts filled with this gem ❤️
I’ll be reading Me Before You this weekend and if ever I finish it by then, I’ll make sure I’ll post a review as soon as possible!
For now, I’ll be in my paradise, sniffing my brand new baby 💖

I know how it feels! Book mails are soooooo awesome 😍😍😍😍 It can honestly change my mood immediately. I already won 4 giveaways this year and the first time was when I was also in school but I just tried to keep it cool lmao. I told the news to all of my friends while beaming but I didn’t scream (well, just inside lmao). It’s just really fun to know other people feeling and experiencing the things that you do.
love how you told the story of you winning a giveaway and receiving the book mail. It seems like you’re really a chatty and cheerful person, I can actually feel how happy you were 😊😃😃

Book mails are the best 😍😍 although sometimes it feels like they take forever to be delivered. But I guess that’s what makes them more exciting. I haven’t won giveaways with physical books as a prize since then though. Maybe because the universe doesn’t want me to cause that embarrassing scene again 😂 I can’t even remember why I didn’t just choose to tell it to my friends secretly! But hey, it’s done. I just hope I’ll be able to control myself the next time it happens. Oh and thank you! Yes, I am a chatty and cheerful person. Especially when someone’s talking about books 😍
